Pointless is 10 today!

Normally this sort of thing warrants some sort of special episode, or some media blitz, or anything. Instead we only knew when Richard Osman sent out this rather cryptic tweet:

Today is ten years since the first ever episode of Pointless. I thought it would last for one series and I’d get back to my proper job. Thank you to the loveliest gang of viewers, it’s been an absolute pleasure. Plenty more to come, too! Xx https://t.co/hPdTR38EEc

Congratulations to Rose d’Or winner and Bother’s Bar favourite Pointless, which to this day has basically flopped in very country outside of the UK. Who can say why that is? We’ve pointed out in the past that it’s probably the most quintessentially British quiz show of the past twenty years.
